Ⅴ.完形填空。
Reading about weather in books is one thing. Living through a natural disaster was 1
though the flood was not too bad.
It all started two days ago. It was a rainy day,like every other rainy day. The only unusual
thing was how 2 the adults seemed to be getting. It didn't look like the rain was going to stop
anytime soon. I didn't really know what that meant to us, 3 Mum was always saying that rain
was good for all the plants.
The next morning I went down for breakfast. Neither Mum nor Dad was at the kitchen table.
The lights all over the house were 4. I went to get out the milk,but a note on the refrigerator
told me not to open the door. As I was 5 what to eat for breakfast,I noticed that the rain was
still going. I could hear 6 coming from the basement(地下室). Looking through the basement
door,I saw there was 7 down there! It didn't look like a lot,but there were toys and things
floating by! I could hear Mum and Dad's voices.
"Hello? What's going on down here?" I called down the stairs.
"Good morning, Vicky. Our basement is 8. The power all over the town is out. We are
pumping the water out by hand," Dad 9.
Not too long after,they came back upstairs. "Once the power comes back,we're going to find some
fans to try to 10 the basement. It's quite a 11. There are things that got all wet," Mum said.
We decided to 12 around. A lot of roads were closed because water was covering the road.
The houses by the river were in the river. We stopped to 13 people who were filling bags with
sand. The bags helped to keep away the water. I couldn't believe 14 the flood was affecting us!
When we finished filling up sandbags,we drove back home.
We didn't have power and fixing the basement could get 15. Anyway,we were lucky.
